Instead, Clark waited some time for the owner to return. The owner did return 10 minutes later, but not before Clark called 911 and was put on hold. When the owner arrived, Clark was scoffed and "laughed" at.

As summer comes into full swing, and temperatures rise, so does increased awareness for both pet and child safety. In some states, leaving pets and children in the car can be considered crimes, or result in fines.

Hopefully this incident serves as a reminder for car safety, regarding both animals and people during these hot summer months.
